Approximately 20 bumps in the road
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3623936.
The A2 has approximately 20 bumps (17 according to my children, it’s become a counting game!) in the road on approach to the slip road to Bridge. These are not only dangerous but has caused damage to family cars.

The bumps are getting worse over time - "ridge like" across the whole southbound carriageway. They are now dangerous especially for drivers of smaller cars not used to the area at night. The surprise of a big bump on a 70mph dual carriageway could cause a driver to swerve / loose control and possibly collide with anoth vehicle. Needs an immediate speed restriction until fixed

Thank you for contacting National Highways about road surface on the A2 carriageway between Canterbury and Bridge.
Thank you for taking the time to get in touch regarding this matter. I am very sorry to hear of the impact of poor road conditions and please be assured that we do understand and recognise your concerns. We’re aware of the issues of the road condition along this stretch of the A2. This stretch is currently monitoring by our safety team since August 2021.
Recognising this issue, I can advise that a major scheme is currently under development which will involve full levelling and resurfacing between Nackington and Bridge and also along Lydden to Whitfield with anticipated construction in this financial year 2022/2023.
In the meantime, we’ll continue to review weekly when any safety issues will be raised for urgent mitigation.
Kind regards
National Highways
